No wonder no one stopped them when Liam and she entered the Sky Harmoney Villa—it turned out they had already been marked from the moment they stepped in!But how did Liam figure it out?And why would just the two of them attract such a grand setup?Dianne turned her head, her eyes trembling as she looked at Liam.No matter what was going on, one thing was certain: they were trapped.There was a very real chance they were going to die here.Just then—Bang!The heavy copper-clad gates of the Nosh family's old residence suddenly swung open.At the same time, a voice filled with authority, yet laced with fury, rang out from within."I never thought you'd be audacious enough to take things this far!"Standing beneath the courtyard's central skylight, Arkem glared at Liam with undisguised hatred. "You killed my grandson, Andy, and now you've come straight to Sky Harmoney Villa to find me?"Liam shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm busy. Naturally, I have to make good use
Gulp—Dianne swallowed softly.Everything before her was utterly shocking!So, Andy was really dead!Dianne simply could not comprehend how Liam had accomplished all of this in such a short time!Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Liam's voice rang out again."Are you coming in with me?"He stopped, turned to look at Dianne, and asked, "Or would you rather wait at the entrance for a while?""I..."Hearing Liam's words, Dianne trembled slightly, suddenly snapping back to reality.She lifted her head, her eyes shaking as she surveyed her surroundings.On the surrounding walls, nearly a hundred imposing figures stood tall. And within the Nosh family's old residence, who knew how many other threats lay hidden?The fact that Liam was able to kill Andy proved he was extraordinary, with remarkable strength.But that was all!No matter how powerful he was, he could not possibly take on the entire Nosh family.Moreover, by killing Andy, Liam had clearly startled the snake in t
"Of course, I'm here to kill you."Hearing these words from Arkem, Liam lifted his head and calmly replied."You came to Juneau just to kill me?"Arkem frowned sharply at his response."Why else?"Liam's gaze remained indifferent. "You sent people to South City to kill me. Am I not allowed to come to Juneau to find you?""You…"Arkem was momentarily stunned. He had never expected such a response from Liam.Liam had traveled all the way from South City to Juneau—just for this one reason?"Then have you ever wondered why Monochrome Duo Wraiths have yet to return to Juneau, and why I haven't sent more people to South City?"Arkem let out a heavy sigh. "That's because the Nosh family only makes a move once. No matter the reason, if a mission fails, and Monochrome Duo Wraiths do not return, then the Nosh family will never make another move against you!"He fixed his gaze on Liam."And how is that my concern?"Liam asked, puzzled."No one is coming after you anymore—that means
"You…"Hearing Liam's words, Arkem's gaze darkened instantly.He had not expected this.The young man before him actually dared to say such things!Spare the Nosh family? Liam sure had the audacity to say that. Arkem had made this choice after weighing the pros and cons—it wasn't a plea for mercy!However, before he could respond, Liam's voice rang out once more."Sparing you is impossible."He glanced at Arkem and shook his head lightly. "If I were to let you go just like that, wouldn't my trip to Juneau be in vain?"You dared to send people to South City to find me, so you should've expected me to come to Juneau for you. Sparing your Nosh family is negotiable, but there's one condition—you must die."Liam's voice carried not a shred of emotion."What…"Seeing what was unfolding before her, Dianne's eyes widened sharply, and a flicker of shock flashed through them!If, at the beginning, she had been astonished by Liam's extraordinary strength upon learning that he was trul
Arkem had been alerted.However, his response was not what Liam had initially expected—he did not immediately seek revenge for Andy by any means necessary!Instead, the shrewd and calculating Arkem promptly mobilized the remaining guards of the Nosh family and retreated to their ancestral residence. He had already made preparations in advance to ensure their safety.This was one of the key factors that gave Arkem confidence.He did not wish to escalate the conflict with Liam, not out of fear, but to protect the Nosh family from suffering excessive losses!After all, the Nosh family had dominated Juneau for decades—how could they possibly fear a mere young upstart?"Hmm?"Sensing the situation around him, Liam raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.The number of martial artists in Juneau was far greater than he had initially anticipated.First, there was the Eight Trigrams Formation technique.Now, there were so many advanced martial arts Masters!It see
The sudden change in circumstances made Dianne freeze in shock.It was not just Dianne—everyone present, who had been rushing toward Liam, the martial artists, suddenly halted in their tracks. They stopped dead, and their gazes toward Liam were filled with intense caution, as though facing a formidable enemy.In martial arts, the combination of aura and momentum is paramount.The martial way also has a saying: the one who presses forward will win!This means that martial artists, regardless of their level or rank, are influenced by their own momentum. And just now, when nearly a hundred martial artists charged at Liam, it was when their momentum was at its peak.Under the combined force of their group attack technique, the internal energy of the martial artists was far stronger than before.At this stage, the attack was incredibly fierce!Not to mention, the bald man was originally a advanced martial arts Master!Yet, this overwhelming, tiger-like attack was actually cleaved in
The ability to easily sever the palm of the advanced martial arts Master Robert Huntt, who was at the peak of his momentum, is something no ordinary warrior could accomplish!The next moment, when he saw the three-inch-long inner energy on the Bluebird dagger, which was radiating a cold gleam, his pupils suddenly contracted!"Martial arts Ascendant!"A look of shock flashed in Arkem's eyes!He never expected that the woman in front of him, who was incredibly beautiful and had an extraordinary aura, would actually be a martial arts Ascendant!In that instant, Arkem also felt the same shock that the Monochrome Duo Wraiths had when they sensed the power of the Bluebird earlier!In all of Hestia, there were only a few martial arts Ascendants in the open!And yet, Liam actually had a martial arts Ascendant as her bodyguard!What puzzled Arkem even more was why such a young, stunning martial arts Ascendant had never been mentioned before!And at the moment Arkem spoke those shocked
Arkem was a cautious person, always has been!And the Nosh family's current power and influence are inseparably tied to Arkem's cautious nature!He always worked hard to minimize risks to the lowest possible level!If faced with unavoidable conflict and danger, Arkem would do everything he could to improve the odds of his victory.When he first met Liam, Arkem immediately sought to negotiate, and that was the reason behind it.However, this didn't mean he was unprepared.On the contrary, when Arkem learned that Liam had come to Juneau and killed Andy, he made thorough preparations. He not only called back all the Nosh family guards he could mobilize to the old mansion but also spent a large sum of money to hire the Bastion Squad, an elite special operations team from the Western Military Region.The reason he could hire the Bastion Squad was because all six of its members had already left the Western military zone.Arkem was not sure of the exact reason, but he vaguely heard it
Seeing this scene, Gabriel's heart sank even deeper!From his perspective, it seemed that Grandmaster Burrey still didn’t realize how urgent the situation had become.Recalling what happened earlier—Grandmaster Burrey’s confident demeanor, believing that he could handle the matter through the Bastion Squad—brought a bitter look to Gabriel's face.Even if Grandmaster Burrey truly had a way to resolve the Bluebird dispute through the Bastion Squad, it was probably too late by now.Seeing this scene, Matthew frowned slightly. He turned his head, following Gabriel's gaze, and looked backward.Ever since Gabriel had taken his seat at the main table, he had been glancing back occasionally, even during such a tense moment.Matthew could not figure out what was behind them that could make Gabriel so concerned.Noticing Matthew's actions, Gabriel's expression changed.He realized he was already losing his composure and might even expose Grandmaster Burrey."We will definitely follow
"There really aren't any clues…"Hearing Matthew's words, Gabriel exhaled softly.He turned his head, his voice steady and emotionless as he responded, "You also know that as the captain of the Nine Nether Squad, Bluebird's strength was extraordinary."If Bluebird really isn't dead and can even take on the entire Bastion Squad alone, then finding her won't be easy at all."Gabriel tried hard to downplay the matter concerning Bluebird.He appeared calm, but in reality, Matthew's words had already brought him a great sense of urgency."But…"Matthew narrowed his eyes, staring at Gabriel. "Back then, it was you, Old Warren, who reported Bluebird's death to the military. Weren't you certain when you did that?""Of course I was," Gabriel nodded, replying earnestly."That's why I was so surprised when I heard you say that Bluebird might not be dead, because it's just impossible…"However, before he could finish, Matthew interrupted him."If that's the case…"Matthew revealed a sl
However, anyone who can become a commander of the military district is no simple character.When Gabriel took the stage, the cold expression on Matthew's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a cheerful smile."Old Warren, you finally made it!" He stood up and said with a laugh, "We've been waiting for ages!""It's not my fault. The Special Ops Instructor Exchange was suddenly moved up, and I almost wasn't prepared," Gabriel grumbled, throwing a glare at Matthew.Then, he was about to take a seat.But just as Gabriel was about to bend down, he suddenly paused and stopped in his tracks.He subtly turned his head to glance at Liam, who was standing behind him.With Grandmaster Burrey present, how could he dare sit in the main seat?"Go ahead and sit."Before Gabriel could say anything, Liam's calm voice rang out. He gently placed a hand on Gabriel's shoulder.Although it seemed light, Gabriel could feel an irresistible force emanating from Grandmaster Burrey's hand, causing h
However, before Gabriel could say anything else, he saw Grandmaster Burrey ahead turn his head and glance at Bluebird.The moment Liam's gaze was noticed, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished instantly."What the…"Seeing this, Gabriel's body trembled, instantly freezing in place.If the first time Bluebird appeared behind him without a sound was because he had let his guard down and hadn't paid attention, then now, Bluebird had vanished right under his nose!In fact, Gabriel could not even see how the situation just unfolded!This scene left him completely stunned!What on earth was going on?Ever since the martial competition with the special ops squad, after Bluebird was saved by Grandmaster Burrey, not only did the scars on his face disappear without a trace, but even his strength had become so unbelievably powerful?For a moment, Gabriel was filled with shock!"What's wrong?"However, Liam did not pay attention to Gabriel's odd behavior. When he noticed Gabriel stan
Gabriel laughed.He knew better than anyone how much Grandmaster Burrey disliked trouble.That's why he had not even considered informing Liam about the upcoming All-Army Special Forces Instructor Exchange Conference."But..."At that moment, a thought seemed to cross his mind.He suddenly paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes."I really didn't expect that the existence of martial artists in the Hestia military could be kept from me for so long..."It was evident.After the members of the Nine Nether Squad stepped into the martial path, it was impossible to keep it hidden any longer. As a result, Gabriel finally learned about the martial arts world.And the more he understood, the more dissatisfied he felt.In fact, there was even a hint of worry in his heart.To keep such a secret from the entire Central Military Region for so many years—even allowing them to suffer humiliation during the Special Forces competition without revealing a single word about martial artist
Gabriel clearly wanted to say something more.But when he saw Liam turn his head and glance at him calmly, he froze instantly and quickly shut his mouth.Gabriel did not dare to continue arguing with Grandmaster Burrey.Even though he stopped speaking, his thoughts remained unchanged.The matter regarding the Bastion Squad was definitely not that simple.Moreover, Grandmaster Burrey was seeing things too simply, but Gabriel did not mind.After all, from the beginning, he had not expected to find a real solution to the problem from Grandmaster Burrey.After all, Grandmaster Burrey was not part of the military, so it was natural that his suggestions were impractical.Just being able to learn from Grandmaster Burrey that Bluebird was still alive was already a gain.As for bringing Bluebird back or dealing with him, Gabriel had not even considered it!The moment he realized that Bluebird had chosen to follow Liam, he decided not to ask a single question more about it.In fact, h
He looked at Gabriel and responded calmly."Well..."Hearing this, Gabriel was suddenly stunned.The next moment, a bitter smile flashed across his face."That's true, but Grandmaster Burrey..." Gabriel sighed helplessly. "The problem really isn't that simple. The method you mentioned—I've actually considered it too."But no one knows where the Bastion Squad is now. Since they raised this issue with the Hestia military, it clearly means the problem hasn't been resolved, and they definitely won't show up."I also heard that the captain of the Bastion Squad, Benedict, seems to have passed away due to some issues related to Bluebird."With all these factors, even if we go through a lot of trouble to find the members of the Bastion Squad, they might not cooperate with us."Not to mention, we don't even have any leads on them."At this moment, he finally understood why Grandmaster Burrey seemed so indifferent.The method Grandmaster Burrey proposed was indeed good, but to actually
"I'm afraid they also want to come to the Central Military Region to get detailed information about the situation."A trace of concern flashed across Gabriel's face.Events involving the entire army were always grand, and the preparations had to be thorough.However, the sudden advancement of the instructor exchange meeting would definitely disrupt many of his original plans.Most importantly— All of this also involved Bluebird.Gabriel initially did not know the specific situation. Now, seeing that Bluebird was indeed still alive made things even more complicated for him.The incident happened suddenly, and the preparations were insufficient. For a moment, Gabriel didn't know how to continue covering up the matter about Bluebird.After all—The news of Bluebird's death directly led to the Western Military Region being penalized, and even the Bastion Squad was expelled from the army!If Bluebird was not dead, and such a huge misunderstanding had occurred, the other war zones
Is all of this real or fake?"Commander Warren."Bluebird looked at Gabriel, his voice cold and calm, and nodded slightly.Compared to before, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel had noticeably changed.If, in the past, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel was like that of a subordinate to a superior in the military, then now, although she still showed respect, that sense of duty-bound obedience was gone.Because Bluebird knew very well who she was serving now!"You're really not dead..."Hearing Bluebird's admission, a flash of utter shock crossed Gabriel's eyes.In the next moment."Grand... Grandmaster Burrey..."His eyes trembled as he looked at Liam, his voice so dry due to the shock that it came out strained.Gabriel was well aware of how severe Bluebird's injuries were at that time.It could be said that everyone present had basically declared Bluebird's death.When they returned to the temporary base of the Nine Nether Squad, it was merely to fulfill Bluebird's last
